Story

I've had Simba for 5 years, he is a loving dog that at this time needs more than I can provide for him. Simba is an intuitive, intelligent, loving, goofy, active dog. He shows a lot of affection and knows how to be a companion when people are feeling low, he enjoys giving dog hugs with leaning on you or kisses. He is very adventurous, LOVES swimming, hikes, riding bikes, agility courses. He thrives with structure and exercise. He is great with people, he is a rockstar at the vet and always gets complemented on doing very well on his visits. Simba needs a family/owner that has flexible schedule and active lifestyle to manage separation anxiety, and he would be most successful in a home where he is the only dog. Feel free to reach out if you think you can provide him with a loving, nurturing, and active home life.

Story

Diesel is a 7 year old (55lb) pit that I adopted 6 years ago. He is dog/cat aggressive which is why I can no longer keep him. He has had proper training with multiple trainers and listens very well when he’s by himself. He knows all basic and some intermediate commands, is muzzle and crate trained. He’s incredibly cuddly and loves being by your side more than anything. He does not tear into or chew anything that’s not a toy. He loves school age children but he’s never been around a baby. He can be skittish around men the first time he meets them but usually ends up loving them once he knows they’re safe to be around. He’s very healthy with no severe allergies. Diesel comes with all of his belongings needed to safely manage him, his favorite toy, crate and enough food to easily change diets. This beautiful boy has NO bite history and his reactivity is easily manageable with years of professional training. Adoption is the only way to avoid euthanasia, all other options have been tried

Story

Hi, my name is Ruca and I'm 4 years old as of January 1st 2025. I'm looking for my forever home. I love to go on walks, go swimming and to cuddle up in bed. I'm a very sweet girl but I sometimes get a little rough at playtime. I'm not aggressive just vocal and love to play. I'm looking for someone who has plenty of time for me and can help me grow. I know how to sit, stay, lay down and I wait for my food patiently. I have been around other dogs and kids and do well but should be kept on a leash, as i get too excited and may knock someone down. I love bath time but I don't like my nails trimmed. I do very well with routine. I'm potty trained and can stay for long periods alone but if you're home, I want to be close to you. If reading this makes you think we could be happy together, I would love to meet you.

Story

We have had Tyson for 8 years. He has always been so loving and just wants to more attention than we can give right now. He loves sunbathing, running outside, and walks to explore (ok on a leash). He enjoys being alone, but will occasionally play with our younger dog. Tyson has become more anxious since our family has grown and he deserves a home with no kids and lots of attention. Ideally, we would like to keep both dogs together. They've been together for 6 years. He would not take well to other unfamiliar dogs in a new home.

Story

Allow me to introduce to you Misu (Mee Soo) - short for Misunderstood, or I also tell people it's "mutt" in Russian 😝 We found this handsome boy running amuck in my neighborhood in Argyle back in December of 2022. The next three years of training, rehabilitating and living with Misu have been challenging but incredibly rewarding. We've had to work on massive food aggression, zero self-confidence, super high prey drive, and much more. During a vet visit, we were shocked to discover he had two BB's lodged in him, which explains a lot of his trust issues towards humans. 6 months ago, our little family grew and we introduced a newborn to the household. Misu has been mostly avoidant as tiny humans make him nervous. We were hoping for the best that he would love this baby and would never hurt her, but his terrible instincts tell him that she might be a threat. She makes him extremely uncomfortable and he has snapped at her when she makes loud noises.
